<p>Hi Ohad,<br>
I am just finishing up a Prusa i3 build myself. I printed all plastic parts at Noisebridge, there are makerbots (and one functioning Prusa i2) there with PLA and ABS galore. </p>
<p>As for sourcing electronics I'd recommend RAMPS from a reputable source if you aren't sure what you want yet. Kliment's 4pi is expensive but very cool it's (one of?) the first non AVR electronics control boards. Personally I bought a Generation 7 electronics kit from Markus Hitter (Traumflug) because it's inexpensive and VERY DIY friendly. (The PCB is single sided so you could etch it at home) The generation 7 board is very featureless though, so my overall recommendation is RAMPS.</p>

<p>As for other parts, I got my NEMA-17s from robosprout (CCecil on IRC, nice guy) and everything else from either fastenal (retail, had many but not all fasteners) and mcmaster carr for everything else.</p>
<p>Hope that helps. Note there's also a bay area section on the reprap forums.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
Dan</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I'm new to NoiseBridge, the guys over at #reprap mentioned it. I'm building a <a href="http://reprap.org/wiki/Prusa_Mendel" target="_blank">Prusa Mendel I2</a>, got (almost) all the plastic parts printed for me by a friend and looking for guidance on where/how to source the non-printed parts and electronics. The two printed parts I'm missing are one <a href="http://reprap.org/wiki/File:I2-belt-clamp.png" target="_blank">belt-clamp</a> and one <a href="http://reprap.org/wiki/File:I2-x-end-motor.png" target="_blank">x-end-motor</a>. I seem to have the printed parts for a Wade Extruder as well.</div>
